Snowmass Village, Colo., (January 11, 2024) – Calling all Ice Age explorers! Snowmass Tourism and the Aspen Science Center announce a new Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Talk & Tour, hosted weekly this winter in Snowmass.

Learn the story of the remarkable Snowmass Ice Age discovery, the finest Ice Age fossil discovery in the world, from an Aspen Science Center educator, every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m., now through April 9, 2024. This Talk & Tour is open to visitors and residents of all ages. Meet in the Limelight Snowmass lobby to learn about the mammoths and mastodons who inhabited Snowmass between 60,000 and 120,000 years ago, and see replicas of Ice Age animal bones, teeth, tusks, and more. Then, follow along on a guided Ice Age Passport Walk through Snowmass Base Village and the Snowmass Mall to see art inspired by the discovery and earn an Ice Age prize. The Talk & Tour launched on January 9, 2024.

“We are thrilled to have the Aspen Science Center as our partner in bringing the Snowmass Ice Age Discovery to life,” says Virginia McNellis, Marketing Director, Snowmass Tourism. “This new tour gives everyone the chance to understand the plants and animals that thrived here thousands of years ago, and the exciting story of how the discovery was made in 2010.
